UPDATE (CBC Report, 16 Nov 2016): Resourcetec Inc. agreed in Halifax provincial court to pay $12,556 in fines. NSDNR Minister Lloyd Hines confirmed that ” the increased fines [up to $250,000] were a direct response to the Long Lake incident.”

Great to impose such fines, but I have to say I am much more concerned about the legal logging on Crown land, which is far more destructive.
